Section Information for Spring 2027
Though the Romantic era in England is usually defined as running from 1780 to 1830, many argue we’re still living in a “Romantic age.” Amid revolutions abroad, social unrest at home, technological and economic shifts, and new ideas about the nature of the self and the rights of men and women, Romantic-era writers saw the world changing with unprecedented speed, and felt alternately exhilarated, terrified, enraged and amused by the changes they witnessed. We’ll look at how their experiments in poetic form respond to these social and historical contexts and also address more intimate concerns of love and loss, memory and desire. We’ll read some of the most provocative, lasting, and exciting poetry of the period, as well as some fiction in dialogue with the poetry.
